:) yes the fact that a skittish mount gets scared when being attacked by mobs is a suprise to some?
You will find that when you get the level 40 mount he stands up to much more :)
Unless of course you try to run through a bunch of mobs that are closer to your level!

I don't mind getting dismounted as much as the snare I get upon dismounting...

This needs to be changed, and it will eventually. WoW at first let grey mobs daze you and it was changed because of the universal hatred for it.

Mobs dismounting you is fine, grey mobs dazing and dismounting you is not. The mob density in this game is huge and it's fun that way but you shouldn't have to kill every single thing you come across just because you have no chance of getting away from it.. especially when it's grey and gives you no experience for killing.

Didnt say the dismount mechanic needs to go away, just that i cant get to point A to point B without alot of killing, even mobs way below my level.
Something is wrong when grey mobs can dismount me with just 1 swing

Fanboys who like getting dismounted all the time, go back to your basement and keep grinding.

skittish mount or not, it sucks to be repeatedly knocked of your horse and snared by a bat that is 50 yards from you, when you are trying to get to an invasion or rift. and yes...I go WAY around the mobs and way out of my way... and still the boss falls whikle i fight grey bats .

Cost of a decent mount is WAY too high too...so um thanks for making it even higher in a recent patch , that is alot of fun for me to have to grind plat at level 50 on a 'skittish" yarnasaur.

I REALLY like this game but this aspect fo it is just frutsrating and not fun for me.

now will come all the 'plat is so easy to get in this game!"..how nice for YOU, that hasnt been my experience tho. YES i use the AH but its dead on my shard.

whatever, flame on

Strafe through mobbed areas instead of running straight through, and you won't get the speed debuff and are much less likely to get dismounted.

Hyperbole is fun. If a mob is much lower level than you, it won't aggro unless you ride right through it. I'm sorry that going five feet out of your way is such a huge inconveneience. Autorun + afk isn't the best way to get from A to B.

The only time I get dismounted by gray mobs on my skittish horse is when I ride right through them, and even then they often take 3-4 hits to actually knock me down. SOMETIMES they knock me off in one swing, true, but there are just as many times that I have 2-3 mobs flailing at me, and I just ride past them and keep on going.

The medium speed mounts aren't that expensive. If you're 50th level and can't scrape up 40 plat or so, I don't know what to tell you. If you have butchering, you can make 40 plat in a few hours, just from skinning and VENDORING stuff, let alone using the AH.

So don't use the AH? Whenever I feel like I need some money, I hop on my rogue (who is my butcher) and wander around Stillmoor up where all the giants and bats are. In an hour, I can get about 100-200 hides as well as a ton of cloth, the occasional item drop, and money from the mobs. I can average around 10 plat an hour this way, just by vendoring everything I find.

If you can't figure out how to make money, perhaps try something new? Don't expect the AH to be your path to riches.

Unless it was patched in 4.1 to do this, grey mobs still daze. (haven't played since tuesday).

They did fix it, it used to be a lot worse. Now you can actually avoid the mob and still get where you are going. Don't just run straight through stuff.
